Starting this month, you can take a fully online equine nutrition course at Rutgers University from your home, with a 14-week undergraduate offering being presented in two different formats to horse owners, trainers, feed sales representatives or anyone interested in the topic. Each format has a different course workload, level of required interaction, completion documentation, and registration fee.
To earn a certificate of completion, students are expected to be fully engaged each week during the course, submit assignments, complete readings, watch videos, participate in discussions, and complete a final project. Those who receive a grade of 80 percent or more in the class along with the certificate, will also receive continuing education units (3.6 CEUs) rather than undergraduate college credits.
To earn a Certificate of Course Participation, course completion will be based on automatically graded quizzes and self-paced practice assignments but there are no deadlines or instructor interaction.
